"The facades of Lewes Crescent were completed by 1828, but the interiors and backs were left to be developed by the first owners.

"The crescent is named after Lewes because Thomas Read Kemp was born there, and became, like his father, the Lewes MP."

Cave, who is one of Brighton’s most famous residents, is best known for works including Red Right Hand and Into My Arms with his band the Bad Seeds.
